P-47 Thunderbolt

Republic’s P-47 Thunderbolt was a large American fighter powered by a radial engine and equipped with a turbo-supercharger. It escorted bombers and increasingly undertook fighter-bomber missions, using machine guns, bombs, and rockets against ground targets. Its rugged construction and useful load made it prominent in the European theater. The aircraft also served in the Pacific and with Allied air forces. Its eight .50-caliber machine guns delivered concentrated fire, while the large airframe accommodated fuel and external stores. Brazilian and other Allied pilots flew the type in combat. Later versions changed the cockpit canopy and equipment, but retained the robust radial-engine fighter identity associated with demanding low-level attacks.
